    Dr. Altman examined me at the request of my regular ophthalmologist and treated me the next day. Dr. Altman was communicative, friendly, and reassuring as I underwent a cryoretinopexy, He stayed well past 5 p.m. on a Friday to help me, and I am grateful.

    Dr. Altman is a nice individual who was put into a hard situation that I'm not sure he could have changed. Unfortunately, this was my first experience with him and I was unimpressed with the 2 hours we had to wait after he personally asked for a time change just the day before, causing my wife and I to drastically alter our schedules to accommodate. He really knew nothing about my case except the surgery done the day before. I truly think he was thrust into a uncontrollable time management problem by the practice.
